Novel intramolecular base-pairing of the U8 snoRNA underlies a Mendelian form of cerebral small vessel disease
2019-12-13
Abstract excerpt
How mutations in the non-coding U8 snoRNA cause the neurological disorder leukoencephalopathy with calcification and cysts (LCC) is poorly understood. We report the first vertebrate mutant U8 animal model for interrogating LCC-associated pathology. Mutant U8 zebrafish exhibit defective central nervous system development and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) biogenesis, with tp53 activation which monitors ribosome biogenesis. I...
